A garden calamity

by jason-drury

Those words, grow suddenly like thorn weeds. Without warning, they spread wide. Reaching and choking, reality to death. It's a chemical reaction, like chlorophyll to plants. Blinded by vines, that are fed by her light. Thorns of memories, dig deep until you bleed happiness. It's perfectly overgrown, 10 years of blissful growth. How enchanting, to wither with you. Sow our seeds, and live. We’ve suffered, intimate drought, periods of stunted growth, dark days with no light. We began to untwine, then climb to seek a different light. That day was our garden calamity, You no longer fed me your light, Or Nourished my roots. You uprooted, you...left...me.
